Eurofins Environment Testing Australia (EETA) was honoured to
receive the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)
Excellence Award during NATA’s “Accreditation Matters” Conference.
The award recognised EETA for an outstanding achievement in
commissioning and accrediting a state-of-the-art microplastics
laboratory.
The Excellence Award, a new annual accolade, celebrates NATA
Member organisations that demonstrate exceptional quality,
innovation, competency, and technical excellence in their
accredited services. This award recognises the Melbourne based EETA
microplastics laboratory for its enhanced quality and reliability,
and how it contributes to the advancement of science through global
collaboration efforts related to microplastics analysis
techniques.
The ubiquitous presence of plastic in our environment has led to
a staggering global production of approximately 8.3 billion metric
tons since 1950. Inadequate management and recycling practices have
contributed to environmental pollution from microplastics, posing
risks to both human health and ecosystems. In response to these
challenges, legislation on microplastics is evolving globally,
prompting bans on certain plastic products and the establishment of
monitoring programmes. Microplastics analysis remains complex due
to limited standard methods and varying instrumentation which
hinders data comparability. Inadequate quality control measures and
a lack of reference materials in many laboratories further
complicate the issue.
In response to the global challenge that microplastics pose,
Eurofins Environment Testing Australia established a dedicated
commercial microplastics laboratory in 2019, with a focus on
pioneering and advancing methodologies. Eurofins Environment
Testing Australia (EETA) is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for
microplastics testing in potable water, as of 2023, becoming one of
the first accredited laboratories for microplastics analysis in the
Southern Hemisphere. The Eurofins network of laboratories offers an
extensive global commercial microplastic testing service offering,
and the Australian laboratory is one of five dedicated microplastic
laboratories within the network.
